I have witnessed an Indian Muslim woman forcing her 3 year child to wear burkha even while she was feeling suffocated. Does religion have to be so fanatic not to see a little one uncomfortable with it? What are your views parents on religious indoctrination?

This is a controversial subject only because faith means different things to different people. Whether it be wearing a particular type of cloth or eating a specific type of food, people often take it upon themselves to enforce their faith and values onto their kids. Most of the times, without as much as an explanation. You were witness to exactly this. Now, while I personally feel kids should be allowed to grow up as they deem fit and follow a faith they feel fits their ideology that's not what most parents want to do. I am sure even you teach your kids about your faith because that's all you know. As far as this particular incident is concerned, it may not be your place to advise the parent, unless it borders cruelty. Be cause the fact is that most faiths often impose ridiculous acts on young children so they are more inclined to their faith. Circumcision, mundan, baptism in cold water, are all such examples. So my suggestion is that if you feel strongly about how that mother should treat her daughter, please speak up whilst being respectful of her faith.
